Doodle 4 Google

Google always kept its homepage clean of clutter, and aside from the occasional French artist who clearly 'caps' on the logo, it's only on special occasions that the Google powers-that-be touch the sacred logo and reinvent it. Dennis Hwang (master of Doodle 4 Google) has the daunting task of celebrating and marking worldwide events and holidays with his doodles. Doodle 4 Google is a competition, hosted by Google, inviting elementary through high school students to have fun with Google’s homepage logo, and yes, doodle with it! Google asked kids in the US to doodle around the theme “What if…?”.

An annual event for Google, schools are encouraged to sign up - the kids produce amazing doodles! If you're interested, click on this link to go to Doodle 4 Google!

Here's a time lapse mini-vid of Chief Doodler Dennis doing his thing - drawing a Google Doodle from start to finish. He creates a doodle that commemorates the Lunar New Year!
